One day while I was eating beans at Smokey Joe's Café

Just sittin', diggin' all them scenes at Smokey Joe's Café

A chick I'd never seen before

Came walkin' on in through the door

The woman walked in through the door.

At least I'd never saw her down at Smokey Joe's Café

The narrator hadn't noticed this woman at Smokey Joe's Café previously.

And I started shakin' when she sat right now next to me

The narrator felt nervous or excited when the woman sat next to them.


Her chair was there right next to mine at Smokey Joe's Café

The woman's chair was positioned next to the narrator's.

A chill was running down my spine at Smokey Joe's Café

The narrator felt a chilling sensation.

I could smell her sweet perfume

The narrator could smell the woman's perfume.

She smiled at me, my heart went boom

Then everybody in the room at Smokey Joe's Café

They said "Man be careful, that chick belongs to Smokey Joe"

Then from behind the counter, I saw a man

A chef hat on his head and a knife in his hand

The man behind the counter appeared to be a chef, wearing a hat and holding a knife.

He grabbed me by the collar and began to shout

The man grabbed the narrator and started shouting.

"You'd better eat up all your beans boy and clear right on out"

The man warned the narrator to finish eating and leave.

I know I'll never eat again at Smokey Joe's Café

And so we'll never meet again at Smokey Joe's Café

I'd rather eat my chili beans

At Jack's or John's or Jim's or Jean's

Than taking my chances eating down at Smokey Joe's Café

I risked my like with that Smokey Joe's a crazy fool
